Al s regular meeting of Seglsy Poss No. 35, Dept. of California. Grand Army of the Republic held Ian. 29. the follow ing memorial resolutions were adopted CoHRADRs:-A great man has fallen; q patriot has passed away. Only thOss who are intimately acquainted with his untiring zeal and perseverance, in behalf of the soldier can fully appreciate the great loss We have sustained ID ths death of our late cOmra ade, the Hon J. A. Logan. Here was . man among men. Bold, determined and uncOnquersble ID the defense of right, he won the respect of his bItterest adversaries. Through a long and brilliant career ss soldier and statesman hls fame IS untarDIshed by . slngle act of dishonesty.
 Through the most Im mpOrtsnt period cf our couDtry's history be bore . con spicuous part. Even before the great struggleitor the Union he was bright and shining light ID the political councils Of the nation. By bis patriotic fOrtItude and firm adherence to the cause Ot hb- erty and union the great state which ho SO long represented was inspired with extraordinary enthusiasm for the Union cause, As he warned the secessicn leaders from hIs seat ID Congress. so upon the firing off the first gun he grssped the sword and with undying spirit he flung himself into the contest. never tO return until the struggle cul- minated in permanent peace.
 Resuming his seat ID Congress. hs has been almost continuously ID the public halls of Legislation, devotIng hls time and talents to the ssrvice of hIs country. The public eye has been constantly on him for 30 yesIs.
 The concentrated powers of political opp sitiOn and rivalry have failed tO find 6 single taint upon hIs fsir escutcheOn. Through all these years of public life. opportunity and temptation. he failed tO acquire wealth, and died poor. His countrymen have contributed tO ths wants of hIs afflicted family. His long and arduous services tO his country. coupled with his unswervinz integrity IS a noble heritage to the youth of Amer ioa. What grander and hOlier ambition could inspire the youth of our country than to wear the crown of patriotic vir tue encIrcled by the halo of sPotlsss character.
 This shall Outliye the crrmblIng fabrics of tune, and be enshrined ID the hearts of worthy men. Such record is sn enduring monument of true mobility and will Outshine the spangled glitter of imperial pomp. or such was Our de- ceased comrsde. True and faithful as . friend; magnsnimous ss foe.
 In all the relations of life, whether as father. husband or friend. be was the inl- personation of noble example, deyoted sffectlon:and unsverying fidelity. He was ot the "old guard" of the Republic. One of the Spartan band which rallied at the first call to arms, and knew of DO defeat.
 The Grand Army of the Republic hss lost it's truest friend. Well may We mourn over the departure of this cherished and noble patriot. As we look back with pride al his brilliant career and revere his many virtues. lstlus endeavor C. emu late his worthy example. Let us cherish his memory with endesrIng love and sp- precia,iOn. And, whereas. thIs sad sod narrowing afilictiOn has cast the pal! ot sorrow over an entire nation, and the poignAncy of grief IS felt by every mem Der of the Grand Army, to which be was so devoted, therefore.
 Be it resolved that 10 the death ot Hon. John A. Logan. our country has lost one of it's noble-t defenders and one of its granjest statesmen, that the Grand Army can never fll the aching void caused by the demise of the soidieTs trueat friend
 Resolved-Tbsi we tender our nost heartfelt and sinceress sympathies to tbe he.rtstricken wife of our deceased eonrade whose noble assistance inspir- ed his Crande.t efforts, and whose vifely devotion in the las. trying scenes of hls life was s beautiful tribute tO the exAlt- ed character Of tue true woman
